Bruce Quarrie (1947-2004) was a prolific author and military historian.
He wrote over forty titles, mostly on the Second World War, and edited
many more. Len Deighton described him as "one of our most meticulous and
well-informed historians”. This
outstanding work is a detailed introduction to the Arab-Israeli Wars
between 1948 and 1973. That area saw four major campaigns, of which
those of 1967 and 1973- the so-called ‘Six Day War’ and ‘Yom Kippur
Wars’- are of particular interest to wargamers. These wars involved
large tank battles with Centurions, Pattons and M-60’s vied for
battlefield supremacy with Arab T-54’s and T-62’s. It provides detailed
technical information on the weapon systems deployed by the Arab and
Israeli forces. Their organization and tactical use, together with
numerous suggestions for their accurate recreation in miniature. The
book includes wargaming rules for these conflicts.
